Application filed March 28, 1921. Serial No. 456,050.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM MORAN, a citizen of the United States,residin at Brooklyn, in the county of- Kings and gtate of New York, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Bottle Holders, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to bottle holders.

More particularly the invention relates to devices for holding a milkbottle in a de sired place upon a babys chair, crib or babys carriage.

Some of the objects of the present invention are: to simplify thedevices characterized; to produce an inexpensive device; to produce anadjustable holder so that the position of the bottle supported therebymay be changed with relation to the attaching means forming a part ofthe device at will after the device has been In the drawing: Figure 1 isa ront elevation of one form of the device.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the device shown in Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3, Figure 2.

Fi 4 is a sectional fied orm of the device.

Fiiire 5 isa sectional elevation of another mtiggfed form of the device.

' particularly to secured for use.

elevation of a modierring now more Figures 1, 2'and 3 for the details ofthe form of the device shown therein, it will be manifest that the samewill include a spring clamp for the bottle, a su port 11 which supportsthe clamp 10, an The bracket 12 is U-shape and thus provides parts 13and 14 which are parallel to each other and a part 15. The part 13 has around hole therein which receives the lower end of the support 11,whereas the part 14 has a square hole therein which receives the squareend 15 of the support 11-. The

a bracket 12.

- bracket 12 apart from the support 11 and its clamp is arranged on asuitable part of a bab s chair or crib, and then the lower square and ofthe support is passed through the hole in the art 13 of the bracket, and

' osed in the square hole the said end is s in the part 14. A s oulder16 formed on the support 11 engages the part 14 of the I bracketthis andby virtue of the squared end 15 in the square hole in the part 14,

. part 24 has screw threads 25 which coact with a winged nut 26 turnablyrelated to the part 27 of the said bracket. The section 24 istubular toreceive the lower end of the section 23. A set screw 28 serves to holdthe section 23 in any desired adjustment with relation to the section24. The lower end of the section 24 has a head 29 which engages the partof a chair, crib or carriage to which the device is to be attached. ymanipulating the nut 26 the section 24 may be moved with respect to thepart 27, and in that way the device may be secured in place for use.

In the form of the device shown in Figure 5, it will be manifest thatthe device includes a spring clamp 30, an adjustable support 31, and abracket 32. The sup rt 31 is made up from a plurality of sections clampin fixed relation to 33 which are pivotally and turnably related to'eachother by the employment of parts 33 and nuts and bolts34 and 35respectively. Each part 33 consists of an apertured member 33 and athreaded member 33. Each section 33 has a threaded bore 33". The members33 are received b the-bores 33. Lock nuts 33 are arrange on the members33" and serve to lock the sections 33 against turning movement when thesections are screwed against the nuts. By loosening the nuts thesections-each of them-ma be turned after which the nuts may be t1 htenedagainst the sections thus holding em against movement. Such arrangementis desirable to allow the clam to be set in the desired positionirrespectlve of the relative dis sition of the sections with respect tosee other as allowed by the pivotal connections by virtue of the nuts 34and bolts 35 which ass through the members 33" and parts of the sections33. The lowermost sec tion 33 has screw-threads '36 which coact with thethreads of a winged nut 37 tumably related to the part 38 of the bracket32. t should now be manifest that the clamp 30 maybe adjustedlongitudinally with respect to the bracket ,32. The lower end of thelowermost section 33 has a head 39. By manipulating the nut 37, the saidlowermost section may be adjusted with respect to the part 38, and as aconsequence, the head 39 may be moved into and out of engagement with apart of a chair, crib, or carriage to which the device is to beattached.

What is claimed is:

1. A device as characterized comprising a spring clamp, a support forsaid clamp constituting a plurality of adjustable sections, a screwthread provided on one of said sections, an attaching bracket having apair of arms, and a winged nut swiveled in one of said arms of thebracket for co-action with the thread on saidsection, whereby to adjustsaid section to co-act with the other arm of the bracket for clampingthe device to a supported structure.

2. A nursing bottle holder comprising a support having a threadedportion, a spring having spaced and opposed arms one of which receivesthe threaded portion of the support, and a winged nut swivelled in saidbracket arm and receiving and engaging the threaded portion of thesupport to enable the same to co-act with the other arm of the bracketin attaching the bracket.

In testimony whereof I hereby afiix my signature.

WILLIAM MORAN.
